The value of m is 3.
Solution:
Given equation:
6 + 5(m + 1) = 26
To solve the equation:
6 + 5(m + 1) = 26
Multiply 5 into each term inside the bracket.
6 + 5m + 5 = 26
5m + 11 = 26
Subtract 11 on both sides, we get
5m = 15
Divide by 5 on both sides, we get
m = 3
The value of m is 3.
Checking:
6 + 5(m + 1) = 6 + 5(3 + 1)
= 6 + 5(4)
= 6 + 20
= 26
6 + 5(m + 1) = 26.
Hence the solution is correct.
